Music & Sound

Recommended Posts

I hope the music in Doom 3 matches the disturbing quality of the music in, say, PSX Doom or Trent Reznor's Quake 1 handywork. Given the atmosphere of the game I hope whoever handles the score (now that Reznor's left the project) doesn't make it sound too 'cinematic' so to speak, with ambient music for when you're not in combat and the rock stuff kicking in when you're engaging the enemy (Painkiller style). In fact, just bring in whoever composed the PSX Doom music.

Yes, great music would be really cool. But personally, I'd rather see the game with no music so that the environment is more suspenseful. All the creepy noises and such making you jump and turn cause you think it's a demon is supposed to be the point of the game, as far as I've read. [id] wants to scare the shit out of us with this game, and I think music might deter from that quite a bit.

actually, I would prefere sound with no music, just creepy sounds. ps1 doom? how about DooM64? that was the appex of creepy sounds, it set an excellent mood. especially with it being slower pace than the other dooms, like doom3 is gonna be slower paced right? its a totally different scare when you creep around for twenty minutes listening to moaning sounds and then you turn around and a hell kight takes a swipe at your face... I prefere that to the fast-paced shoot-em-up mood of the original doom. anyone else feel that way?
